Creamy Apple Avocado Dressing is a unique blend of sweet crisp apples and creamy avocado. While these two ingredients may not seem like a likely pair, together they create a subtle sweet and fiber-rich dressing that is delicious on top of a colorful crunchy salad or a warm and hearty autumn grain bowl. In case you were wondering just how much fiber this dressing boasts, there are almost 20 grams thanks to the avocado and apple (so include those apple skins!).

½cupwater
salt (optional to taste)
pepper (optional to taste)
Directions

Add all ingredients except the salt and pepper to a blender or food processor.
2
Blend until smooth (it might take a few blends to get all of the apple skin blended (By the way, you want that part since it’s where the fiber lives!)
3
Taste for salt and pepper, if desired. Keep the dressing as is and use it as a dip or on tacos. However, if you want to use it on a salad, you might want to add 2 to 3 more tablespoons of water to create a thinner consistency.
Chef's Notes
Substitutions Instead of a garlic clove, use ⅛–¼ teaspoon of garlic powder.
Use ¼ teaspoon of fresh minced ginger in place of ginger powder.
Apples You can use any variety of apple you’d like. This recipe was created with Honey Crisp because it is sweet and juicy.
How to use Top on salads, grain bowls, tacos, or use as a veggie dip.
